Early Life

Vishnu was born to Ramesh Kudawla, who is an ADGP in tamilnadu police

to the film industry, he was interested in sports and films since his
childhood. After completing his MBA, he went on to become a cricketer. But due
to an unexpected injury (fracture) in his leg he couldn't continue with the
same and switched fields. He later met Rajini Natraj, daughter of Natraj
(Superstar Rajinikanth's very close friend) while studying for an MBA degree.
They eventually fell in love and decided to get married. They were married in
November 2011. He has a sister named Shubhra who is married and settled in

Career

His first debut
film Vennila kabadi Kuzhu, Vishnu spent months preparing for the role. He had
to tan his body sitting for hours in the sun to get dark and look like a player
and then for 3 months he trained for kabbadi matches under a coach, for five
hours a day. The film opened to very positive reviews, with Vishnu earning a
nomination from the Vijay Awards for Best Debut Actor

He subsequently worked on the
comedy, Kullanari Koottam, though none of his films after his debut performed
as well as his first and the actor found himself struggling for the right
breakthrough. He had two releases in 2014: the romantic comedy Mundasupatti
under Thirukumaran Entertainment and the sports drama Jeeva for which he
collaborated with Suseenthiran again. Both films won positive reviews and
performed well at the box office. In 2015 he first appeared in the science
fiction comedy Indru Netru Naalai directed by Ravikumar. Vishnu is currently
working in Kalukkuray Maaplay directed by Suresh, which features Bindu Madhavi
alongside him, while he has finished shooting for Seenu Ramasamy's Idam Porul
